it was slowly corrupting them, although the avengers actions didnt help. the power would have corrupted eventually (which was the avengers whole point) but the avengers sped it along by warring with the xmen. and it was just the 5 that acted like this. the other xmen initially followed them but then flipped when they saw the 5 were going nuts

Yeah, i get all that. Its just weird the way its been written so far. A lot of what ifs, and Scott and company continuously proving Avengers wrong, until the Avengers almost get so tired of being wrong that they do everything to force the scenario they thought would happen. Scott remained incredibly calm and humble (even when he absorbed more power) and they just kept poking at the dude. Its beyond me how the writers wrote it this way and don't seem to expect us to see the Avengers as the protagonist.

I know the Phoenix is a big no-no, but Scott continuously proved he had everything under control. In the beginning i was with the Avengers in thinking Scott was crazy, but once they started creating world peace in every way, there was seemingly little reason to pick a fight.

I think part/most of the Avengers problem with the Phoenix is that no one man should have that much power. The Illuminati have all the Infinity Gems in their possession. They could end this with a snap of their fingers, but they have the agreement that they will never use them, no matter what as it's too much power for one person to have.

Did anyone see the Thunderbolts lineup for the new relaunch? Weird lineup with Red Hulk, Deadpool, Elektra, Venom and The Punisher with Daniel Way writing. Not that sure on it, Way has done an average job with Deadpool, but he sells well so they're obviously continuing on with him.

yea, i agree. it wasn't really written all that well. they seem to forget that the whole reason the first dark phoenix came about was b/c mastermind kept ****ing with Jean's head. rachel had the phoenix force for a long time with no problems...

and i dont know if this belongs here, but i watched that 90s silver surfer animated show. it was cool because there were a lot of cosmic characters but norrin rad was such a whiny b1tch i wanted him dead in that series

If you aren't reading Saga by Brian K Vaughn (art by Fiona Staples), you need to hop on that. Its pretty awesome. I'm even buying them (lol!). That should say how good it is since i usually just download online, but unlike a lot of stuff from Marvel/DC, i don't feel i have to worry about a reboot or Image turning the book upside down for whatever reason.
